Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State met with his predecessor, Akinwunmi Ambode.<\/p>\n

Sanwo-Olu said they discussed issues centred around the future of the state and building on the solid foundation already in place.<\/p>\n

Posting on his X page on Monday, Sanwo-Olu wrote: \u201cToday, I welcomed my brother and predecessor, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, back to Lagos House on a courtesy visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur conversation centred around the future of Lagos and building on the solid foundation already in place. I value his perspective as we all work together to ensure that Lagos remains on the path of growth and development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ambode, who was governor in 2015 lost his reelection bid in 2019 to Sanwo-Olu.<\/p>\n

During the All Progressives Congress, APC, primary election, Ambode had a nasty fallout with Sanwo-Olu.<\/p>\n

But, both men mend the fence in 2023 when Sanwo-Olu and Ambode met publicly at a reception organised in honour of President Bola Tinubu at the Lagos House in the Marina area of the state.<\/p>\n

It was the first time Sanwo-Olu, Ambode and another ex-Lagos governor, Babatunde Fashola, met in over four years since the wind of internal wrangling slapped the ruling political class in the state.<\/p>\n
